Solution

A deck of standard 52 cards contains four aces.

The probability of choosing 3 aces without replacement from 52cards


\begin{gathered} The\text{ probability of choosing aces without replacement=}(4)/(52)*(3)/(51)*(2)/(50) \\ The\text{ probability of choosing aces without replacement}=\text{ }(24)/(132600) \\ The\text{ probability of choosing aces without replacement}=\text{ }(1)/(5525) \end{gathered}
